my drivers license says 5' 8" but it's probably closer to 5' 7" without shoes on. I think i look about right for 170 lbs, that's quite a bit for someone as short as i am. At one point I weighed 130 lbs, so 40 more lbs is quite a bit! =D

my legs however could use some work. that first picture is actually from about 2+ years ago a little after i started lifting. i lifted for a few months then i went on a 2 year hiatus where i only had a cement weight set and could only lift a few times every month. i was able to maintain most of what i had over that 2 years maybe a little loss, no gains though. well for the 3 months i've been back at home w/ gym access i have started doing legs again, so hopefully they'll catch up =D

so i'd say if you take out that 2 year period where i couldn't do anything, it took me probably 5-6 months to bulk from 145 to 170.

as for numbers:
bench: 270
squat: about the same =(
deadlift: ~320

those leg exercises are going up fast though as i am able to do leg days again. maybe that's why i look thick for 170 lbs though, my upperbody is big but my legs are just average.

and for the person who asked about calories, i dont' count calories so i don't know.
